DITCH REPORT:
In Bill Westendorfs’ absence, Rex gave a brief report on the irrigation water/ditch.  There will only be 60% of the normal water available this summer.  The ditch will be on May 15th.  Bill asked for a message to be put on the bills notifying people that for the first 3 days no one is to pull from the ditch so that any debris can be washed on through
from the larger flow of water if no one is pulling from it.  It was agreed that the old letter from Nancy Greif needs to be pulled out, copied and mailed out to everyone.  For the area of the ditch running thru property owner’s lots, the owners need to clean that section of ditch.

ADMINISTRATIVE:
Billing messages – Clean your ditch through your property.  Trash burning NOT allowed.  And a clarification on RENTALS needs to be made.  The last month’s billing was a bit confusing.  Marsha will copy the wording of the Amendment from the Covenants.
